Abstract: The present invention is directed to a system and method for compensating for offset and gain drift in a fast scan direction during an image forming process. To achieve compensation, the present invention samples a plurality of permanently darkened pixels upon powering up image sensors and circuitry therefor and during a sub-scanning process of an image and feeds this information into an offset value generating circuit. The offset generating circuit continually adjusts a pixel offset voltage according to a difference between sequential samples of the permanently darkened pixel, thereby compensating for fast scan offset drift. The present invention also samples a plurality of active pixels during a scanning of a calibration strip. From this scan, a gain corrective value is calculated. The present invention then samples active pixels during a scanning of a platen background. In response to this sampling, the gain corrective value is continually adjusted according to a difference between sequential samples of the platen background, thereby compensating for fast scan gain drift. The present invention can also compensate and balance transfer functions for a plurality of communication channels in a multi-channel system by using the same target values and same reference signals for each channel.

Abstract: Wavelet transform processing is performed on an input signal received at a receiver circuit of an electronic article surveillance (EAS) system. The input signal includes a target signal generated by an EAS marker and also includes correlated high amplitude interference signals. The wavelet transform processing is performed so as to generate from the input signal plural wavelet transform signals having mutually different phases. The wavelet transform is substantially phase invariant with respect to the interference signals and lacks phase invariance with respect to the target signal. Uncorrelated components of the plural phase-diverse wavelet transform signals are identified to detect the target signal. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Modified apo-peroxidases have been found useful in analytical methods to remove the bias caused by the presence of hemoglobin in the test specimens. While apo-peroxidases are known to remove serum interferents, they fail to overcome the hemoglobin bias, particularly when dry coated analytical elements are used in the assays. Blocking the nitrogen atoms of the imidzolyl groups of the histidine amino acids of the apo-peroxidase prevents catalytic activity of the protein in the presence of hemoglobin.
